    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Inquiry Underground Reptiles: Sick animal inquiry?

The BOI is very much interested in the "truth", and identifying those who are truthful. The BOI is also interested in weeding out the fake, the games, the agendas.

2. "Pork/Don Thorston" Account = Pork Hurts = Thomas Hughes FB (created 6/21/16)

As Mr Walker has pointed out several times in this thread, the OP was highly questionable in his motives and agenda....an obvious anti-pet trade agenda that dodged many questions posed to him. So yeah, I doubt he'll be back to Fauna as well.
 
David, I can see why you might feel that way based on skimming over the thread alone, but if you followed the SFD group and him on facebook you would see Joe is a reptile keeper and he has no hidden agenda. He did the right thing by having the actual tests done. Most of the other people who speculated never even attempted to have the tests done without which any conversation is useless speculation. I completely understand why people are on edge given USFW has been used as the long arm of animal rights activism for a long time and acted without any informed leadership or competence for years, but we must balance that fear with the realization that wild, native snakes are often infected and we must understand the significant risk they pose to our collections.
